Confusion

Confusion confuses and creates confusion to the extra confusion

Conversation of William Knott and Mr. Watt.

"Who's calling?" was the answer to the telephone.
"Watt."
"What is your name, please?"
"Watt's my name."
"That's what I asked you. What's your name?"
"That's what I told you. Watt's my name."
A long pause, and then from Watt, "Is this James Brown?"
"No, this is Knott."
"Please tell me your name."
"Will Knott."

YOU LEFT THE TALKERS AT A POINT WHERE THEY WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED. READ
THE REST OF WHAT HAPPENED...

"Why not?"
"Huh? What do you mean why not?"
"Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?"
"But I told you my name!"
"Didn't you say you will not?"
"Not not, knott, Will Knott!"
"That's what I mean."
"So you know my name."
"Of course not!"
"Good. So now, what is yours?"
"Watt. Yours?"
"Your name!"
"Watt's my name."
"How the hell do I know? I am asking you!"
"Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have
not even told me yours yet." "You have been patient, what about me?" "I
have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me
yours yet."
"Of course not!"
"See, you even know my name!"
"Of course not!"
"Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?"
"Because I don't."

[Pause]
"What is your name?"
"See, you know my name!"
"Of course not!"
"Then why do you keep asking ,Watt, is your name?"
"To find out your name!"
"But you already know it!"
"What?"
"See, but you know mine!"
"Of course not!"
"Exactly!"

NOW THEY ARE AT A POINT WHERE BOTH THINK THE OTHER KNOWS THEIR NAME, BUT
THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE OTHER'S NAME.

"Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be
your answer?"
"Watt's my name."
"No, no, give me only one word."
"Watt"
"Your name!"
"Right!"
[Pause before it hits him]
"Oh, Wright!"
"Yeah!"
"So why didn't you say it before?"
"I told you so many times!"
"You never said Wright before"
"Of course I did."
"Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?"
"I do not."
"Well, there you go, now we know each other's name."
"I do not!"
"Good!"
[Pause before it hits him]
"Oh, Guud!"
"Good."
"No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?"
"No, it's Knott!"
"Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud."
"Yes Wright."

NOW THEY BOTH THINK THEY KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAME AS WELL !!

4. Rheumatism (Pain in joints/muscles)
5. General Paralysis
6. Obesity
7. Arthritis

9. Tachycardia
10. Giddiness

11. Cough (Khansi)
12. Asthma
13. Bronchitis
14. Pulmonary Tuberculosis (T.B.)
15. Meningitis
16. Kidney stones
17. Urogenital disease
18. Hyper-acidity

27. Irregular Menstruation
28. Leukemia (white Blood)
29. Uterine cancer
30. Breast cancer
31. Laryngitis

How to do this water therapy?

1. Early morning after you get up from bed (without even brushing your
teeth) drink 1.50 liters of water i.e., 5 to 6 glasses. Better to
premeasure 1.50 liters of water. Let us all know that our ancestors termed
this therapy as "Usha Paana Chikitsa". You may wash your face thereafter.

2. Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor
solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hour before and after
drinking these 1.50 liters of water.

3. It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks should be
taken the previous night.

4. If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose. Is
it possible to drink 1.50 liters of water at one time? To begin with, one
may find it difficult to drink 1.50 liters of water at one time, but one
will get used to it gradually. Initially, while practising you may drink
four glasses first and the balance two glasses after a gap of two minutes.
Initially you may find the necessity to urinate 2 to 3 times within an
hour, but it will become normal after sometime.

By research and experience, the following diseases are observed to be
cured with this therapy within the indicated days as below:

Constipation 1 day
Acidity 2 days
Diabetes 7 days
BP & Hypertension 4 weeks
Cancer 4 weeks
Pulmonary TB 3 months.

Note: It is advised that persons suffering from A rthritis or Rheumatism
should practise this therapy thrice a day, i.e., morning, midday and
night, 1 hours before meals - for one week; and twice a day subsequently
till the disease is cured.

How does pure water act?

Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies the human
body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood,
known in medical terms as Haematopaises. That the mucousal folds of the
colon and intestines are activated by this method, is an undisputed fact,
just as the theory that the mucousal fold produces new fresh blood. If the
colon is cleaned then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day
will be absorbed and by the action of the mucousal folds they are turned
into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and
restoring health, and for this water should be consumed in a regular
pattern.

Life is precious. Handle it with care

Sanjay, a rich guy, loved fast cars and he did have a few in his
possession. He loved to speed and could not be bothered about breaking
speed limits. Many a times he was caught by the cops and speed radars,
fined, but still he never bothered until.

One day as he was driving at a very high speed as usual, he saw a cop
following him. The cop overtook him finally and asked him to stop and
checked his license. He then took out his pad and started Writing, and
then handed over the sheet of paper to Sanjay.

How much was this one going to cost?!!!
Wait a minute.
What was this???? Some kind of joke? Certainly not a ticket.

Sanjay began to read:

"Dear Sanjay,
Once upon a time I had a lovely daughter. She was six when killed by a car.

You guessed it - a speeding driver's car.
A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his
three daughters. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until
Heaven, before I can ever hug her again.
A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I
thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now.
Pray for me.. And be careful, Sanjay, my son is all I have left."

Sanjay turned around in time to see the cop's car pull away and head down
the road. He watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he too,
pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a
surprised wife and kids when he arrived.

Life is precious. Handle it with care.

An Earthquake Survival Guide

Earthquakes don’t kill, unsafe buildings do

Earthquakes do not cause death – buildings do. Falling heavy objects or collapsing of walls and roofs hurt people. The collapsing walls and the vibrations can cause short-circuiting of live electric wires and cause electric fires. A burning gas stove left to its self too can cause fire.

It's how we decorate the interior and exterior of the buildings that kills and injures most people in an earthquake. Even when there is building collapse, victims are rescued in what are called "void spaces". These spaces are usually around heavy furnishings such as desks and tables. Another interesting fact is that about one-third of all injuries occur to leg bones, due to people running during the shaking. To increase your likelihood of surviving any size quake, Drop, Cover and Hold under a desk or table within the first three to four seconds of shaking. Stay there until the shaking stops.

What to do During an Earthquake

Keep calm and keep others calm. Do not panic, it will never help. The best thing to do as soon as you are aware of the fact that you are in the midst of a quake is to rush to an open space quickly.

If you are at home or inside a building crouch under big tables, the frame of an inner door, in the comer of a room or even under a bed. Never use the lifts. Keep well away from windows, mirrors, chimneys and furniture. Stand next to a solid object only, which can withstand any fall and not likely to get crushed easily.

If you are in the street, walk towards an open place, in a calm and composed manner. Do not run and do not wander round the streets. Keep away from buildings, especially old ones, tall or detached buildings, electricity wires and poles, slopes and walls that are liable to collapse.

If you are driving, stop the vehicle immediately but take care not to park close to a building, wall, slopes, electricity wires, and cables. Stay inside the vehicle.

Project and Comedy

A P J Abdul Kalam

Scientists at the Rocket launching station in Thumba, were in the habit of working for nearly 12 to 18 hours a day. There were about Seventy such scientists working on a project. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.

His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office early today.

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 p.m

Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home.

Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children.

He reached home. Children were not there.His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him.

His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry.

The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but what about Children???

Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and has taken the children to the exhibition.

What had really happened was

The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition

The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is established.

That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss eventhough the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was????????

He was A P J Abdul Kalam

Failures are the pillars of Success

# A candidate for a news broadcasters post was rejected by officials since his voice was not fit for a news broadcaster. He was also told that with his obnoxiously long name, he would never be famous.
- He is Amitabh Bachchan.

# A small boy - the fifth amongst seven siblings of a poor father, was selling newspapers in a small village to earn his living. He was not exceptionally smart at school but was fascinated by religion and rockets. The first rocket he built crashed. A missile that he built crashed multiple times and he was made a butt of ridicule. He is the
person to have scripted the Space Odyssey of India single-handedly
- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

# In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record audition for the executives of the Deccan recording Company. The executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of musicians, one executive said, "We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out."
- The group was called The Beatles.

# In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of the Blue Book Modelling Agency told modelling hopeful Norma Jean Baker, "You'd better learn secretarial work or else get married." She went on and became
- Marilyn Monroe.

# In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry, Fired a singer after one performance. He told him, "You ain't goin' nowhere....son. You ought to go back to drivin' a truck." He went on to become
- Elvis Presley.

# When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process."

# When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it did not ring off the hook with calls from potential backers. After making
a demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said, "That's an amazing invention, but who would ever want to see one of them?"

# In the 1940s, another young inventor named Chester Carlson took his idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in the country. They all turned him down. In 1947, after 7 long years of rejections, he finally got a tiny company in Rochester, NY, the Haloid company, to purchase the rights to his invention -- an electrostatic paper copying process.
- Haloid became Xerox Corporation.

# A little girl - the 20th of 22 children, was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralysed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl -Wilma Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.

# A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told him that you would not become anybody in life.
-The boy was Albert Einstein.

The Moral of the above :
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot
do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace.

"failures are the pillars of success!"

Good Story

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During
some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped
the other one in the face.



The one who got slapped was hurt,
but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.



They kept on walking until they found an oasis,
where they decided to take a bath. The one who
had been slapped got stuck in the mire and
started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near
drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.



The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone,
why?" The other friend replied "When someone
hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds
of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone
does something good for us, we must engrave
it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND
AND T O CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.


They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

IF You

If you kiss him, he kisses you back
If you don't, he patiently waits

If you praise him, he says thanks you
If you don't, he feels secure in your love

If you agree to all his likes, you have met your fantasy man
If you don't, he still gets along

If you visit him often, he welcomes you every time
If you don't, he'll visit you instead

If you are well dressed, he says you are beautiful
If you don't, you are still beautiful

If you are jealous, he reassures you and holds you
If you're not, he gives you no reason to be

If you attempt a romance, he sweeps you off your feet
If you don't, he'll love you from afar

If you are a minute late, he is grateful for your arrival
If he is late, he apologizes and makes it up to you

If you visit another man, he is secure that you love only him
If he is visited by another woman, you are secure that he loves
only you

If you kiss him once in a while, he's appreciative of your
affection
If you kiss him often, he will always have you on his mind

If he fails to help you in crossing the street, you know you're
big girl
If he does, he shows that he'll always be there for you

If you stare at another man, he knows that you're only admiring
If he is stared at by other women, you know why -- she's one
ot babe

If you talk, he'll always listen
If you listen, he'll tell you anything you want to know

In short:
So complex, yet so direct
So strong, yet so supportive
So dazzling, yet so humble
So passionate, yet so marvelous...

so love your hubby / boyfriend / both more & more everyday....

Love

What is love without two people in it?
What is a world with out people?
What am I without you?
I love and miss you.


The essential sadness is to go through life without loving.
But it would be almost equally sad to leave this world without ever telling those you love.


If you love something set it free.
if it returns it was meant to be.
if it does not then it was never yours to begin with.


"If a hug represented how much I loved you...!
I would hold you in my arms forever...!!


We do not love people because they are beautiful,
But they seem beautiful to us because we love them...!


Love cannot be explained...
It can only be experienced...!


I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love...!!


When you say, "I love you", mean it...!!


Believe in love at first sight...!!


Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt
But it's the only way to live life completely...!!


True Love is like ghosts which everyone talks about...
but few have seen...!!!!


We cant really love anybody,
with whom we never laugh.
Once U can laugh..U can Love...!!


Never Let Love gets the best of you...!
But U should always try to get the...
BEST OF LOVE...!!


If U have the courage to love...!
You have the courage to suffer...!!!


Love is seeing Yourself in someone's eyes
And finding yourself in Somebody's heart...!!!


Love is when you take away
the feeling, the passion, the romance..
and you find out..
you still care for the person...!!

Husband

A person who surrenders when he's WRONG, is HONEST.
A person who SURRENDERS when not SURE, is WISE..
A person who surrenders even if he's RIGHT, is a HUSBAND.!

Corruption Trial

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?"

The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't hear the question.

"Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?" the lawyer repeated loudly.

The witness still did not respond.

Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question."

"Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."

When you are in Love

When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore
that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around
to find them.
At that moment, you are in love.

Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh,
your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back,
to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet.
You are desperately waiting for the call!
At that moment, you are in love.

If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from
that special someone than other many long e-mails,
you are in love.

When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the
emails or SMS messages in your phone because of one message
from that special someone, you are in love.

When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would
not hesitate to think of that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

You keep telling yourself, "that special someone is just a friend",but
you realize that you can not avoid that person's special attraction.
At that moment, you are in love.

While you are reading this text, if someone appears in your mind,
then u are in love with that person...;))

Golden Box

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her 5 year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.

Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and said, "This is for you, Momma." The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty.

She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner. "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?"

She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full."

The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.

Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.



In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings,have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

So......To be loved......love.......love unconditionaly......

Banta Singh!!!!!!!!

One Singh was enjoying the sun at the beach in
America. A lady came and
asked him, "Are you relaxing?"

Singh answered, "No, I am Banta Singh."

Another guy came and asked him the same question.
Singh answered, "No!! Me
Banta Singh!"

A third one came and asked him the same question
again. Singh was totally
annoyed and decided to shift his place. While walking
he saw another Singh
soaking in the sun. He went up to him and asked, "Are
you Relaxing?" The
other Singh was a lot more educated and answered,
"Yes, I am relaxing." The
Singh slapped him on his face and said," Stupid,
idiot. Everyone is looking
for you and your are sitting over here!"

**************************************

A Singh died and went to heaven. When he got to the
pearly gate Saint Peter
told him that new rules were in effect due to the
advances in education on
earth. In order to gain admittance a prospective
heavenly soul must answer
two questions:

1. Name two days of the week that begin with "T"

2. How many seconds are there in a year?

The Singh thought for a few! minutes and answered...

1. The two days of the week that begin with "T" are
Today and Tomorrow.

2. There are 12 seconds in a year.

Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy the Today and Tomorrow
answer, even though
it's not the answer I expected. But how did you get 12
seconds in a year?"
The Singh replied, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd,
March 2nd, April 2nd
etc..."

Saint Peter opened the gate without another word

***************************************

Jasmeet Kaur caught her husband Santa Singh searching
high and low all
around his living room.

Jasmeet: "What are you searching for?"

Santa: "Hidden cameras!"

Jasmeet: "And wh! at makes you think that there are
hidden cameras here?"

Santa: "That guy on TV knows exactly what I am doing.
Why every few minutes
he keeps saying, 'You are watching the Star World
channel'. How does he know
that?"

************************************

Three men were stranded on an uninhabited island. One
was Hindu, one a
Muslim, and the other a Singh. The only way back home
was to swim 100 miles
to the next island, which was inhabited.

The Muslim was so determined to get home that he tried
to swim. He made it
50 miles, got tired, and drowned.

Then the Hindu tried. He made it 75 miles, but got
tired and he too drowned.

The Singh thought he could make it all the way, so he
started swimming. He
swam 50 miles, but started getting tired, so he swam
all the way back to the
island.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Having lost his donkey a Singh got down to his knees !
and started thanking
God. A surprised passer-by saw him and asked, "Your
donkey is missing; what
are you thanking God for?"

The Singh replied "I am thanking Him for seeing to it
that I wasn't riding
the donkey at that time, otherwise I would have been
missing too."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once, a Singh was travelling in a train. He felt
sleepy so he gave the guy
sitting opposite him on the train Rs 20 to wake him up
when the station
arrived. This guy was a barber, and he felt that for
Rs 20, the Sardarji
deserved more service. So, when the Singh fell asleep,
the barber quietly
shaved off his beard.

When the station arrived, the Singh was woken up, and
he went home. Reaching
home, he went to wash his face, and suddenly screamed
when he saw himself in
the mirror.

Said his wife, "What's the matter?"

He replied "The cheat on the train has taken my Rs 20
and woken! up someone
else".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once there was a train, which was going peacefully on
the rail-tracks.
Suddenly the train deviated from the tracks, went into
the fields nearby and
then came back on the tracks. The passengers were
horrified.

At the next railway station the driver was arrested:
He was found to be a
Singh. He was questioned. He explained that there was
a man standing on the
tracks and he was not moving from there even after
blowing the horn,
flashing the lights etc.

The authorities questioned: Mr. Singh, are you mad!
Just to save the life of
one person you put the lives of so many passengers in
danger. You should
have run that person over.

Singh said: That is exactly what I had decided, but
this idiot started
running towards the field when the train got real
close.

###############################


Two Singhs went into a ! pub and after ordering two
beers took some sandwiches
out of their pockets and started to eat them. "You
can't eat your own
sandwiches in here," complained the pub owner. So the
two Singhs swapped
their sandwiches.

############################


Banta Singh finished his English exam and came out.
His friends asked him
how he did his exam, for that he replied "Exam was
okay, but for the past
tense of THINK, I thought, thought, thought and at
last I wrote THUNK!"

********************************



A Singh goes to a hotel and eats heartily. After
eating he goes to wash his
hands but starts washing the basin instead.

The manager comes running and asks him, "Mr. Singh,
what are you doing?"

To this the man replies, "Oye, see the board here,

Husband Mart!!!!

A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors , and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes into the store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 These men have jobs.

The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes. The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids .

The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?"
And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.

"Hmmm , better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?" The fourth floor sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework.

"Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more, further up!" And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.

"Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes.

The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day!

Decision Making

Which one will you choose?

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use
while the other disused.
Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational
track.
The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange.
You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved
most of the kids.
However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track
would be sacrificed.
Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION BEFORE YOU PROCEED! THE TRAIN WON'T STOP
TO WAIT FOR YOU!


Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice
only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, I thought
the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense
of only one child was rational decision most
people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that
the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right
decision to play at a safe place?


Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who
chose to play where the danger was.
This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community,
in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often
sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or
ignorant the majority are, and howminority are.

The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was
sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for
him.

The friend who forwarded me the story said he would not try to change the
course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the
operational track should have known very well that track was still in use
and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.

If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because
never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track
was not in use probably because it was not safe.

If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all
passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by
sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to
save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be
made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right
one.

"Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't
always right."

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils

TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS

Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids
already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally
retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an
abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the answer for this one.

Question 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote
counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.

Candidate A - Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with
astrologists. He's had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks
8 to1 0 martinis a day.

Candidate B - He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon,
used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C - He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't
smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide first, no
peeking, then scroll down for the answer.














ANSWERS

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Candidate B is Winston Churchill.

Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, the answer to the abortion question: If you said yes,
you just killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging
someone. Never be afraid to try something new.

Remember: Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic

Nice One

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his
son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how
poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of
what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
" It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and
they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden
and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard
and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live
on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants
who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow
theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have
friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would
happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of
worrying about what we don't have.

Prevention is better than cure........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advice from a Lawyer

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was
constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking
the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the
exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people
from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"

"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a
bill."

The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day,
still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.

When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the
lawyer.

Japan Baby

In a Japanese house a baby was born. It had tiny eyes,

Then the third was born. It had BIG ears, eyes, nose
and mouth. The parents
thought for long and at last named him Somethingwrong.

Names of Companies

There are many companies / brands / products whose names were derived from strange circumstances.

Here are some :

This was actually the financier's daughter's name.

Adobe
This came from the name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.

Apple Computers
It was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock.

CISCO
It is not an acronym as popularly believed. It is short for San Francisco.

Compaq
This name was formed by using COMp, for computer, and PAQ to denote a small integral object.

Corel
The name was derived from the founder's name Dr. Michael Cowpland. It stands for COwpland REsearch Laboratory.

Google
The name started as a joke boasting about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders - Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google'

Hotmail
Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan forthe mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming
language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing.

Hewlett Packard
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.

Intel
Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce' but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain . So they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.

ORACLE
Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). The code name for the project was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give answers to all questions or some such thing). The project was designed to help use the newly written SQL code by IBM. The project eventually was terminated but Larry and Bob decided to finish what they started and bring it to the world. They kept the name Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the same name for the company.

Sony
It originated from the Latin word 'sonus' meaning sound, and 'sonny' a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.

SUN
Founded by 4 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym for Snford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla

Yahoo!
The word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos.

Two Coats

A blonde decides to show her husband that despite what everyone says, blondes really are smart. So she decides that she is going to paint
the living room in their house while her husband is at work.

So the next day as soon as he leaves, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home after work and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a parka and a mink. He asks her what she is doing. She replies that she
wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she
wanted to do it by painting the room.

He says that he was impressed at the good job she had done, but
what's with her wearing the two coats?

She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and
they said, ''FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO COATS!''
